that tells you how to find the DN of a user, it will be any user that you want to authenticate in the AD. That gives you the correct details for the search base but post here if you still have problems.
I had read that prior to my post but it did not make any sense to me. I am still unsure but after I was able to get to the AD controller and run that command I see that the DN is something strange like

CN=doug,CN=users,DC=capetest,DC=capecomputing,DC=c om
I stuck in there and at least it worked (well it did not fail) after I added a a few entries to my /etc/hosts.

So the test went successfully but nothing was returned. Well at least its not failing.

I also seem to have one account authenticating with the AD server but not the other. That may be an issue with the way the account is in AD.

I will start a new thread to ask my remaining questions so as not to cloud it up with this one.

Bill ... thanks again for pointing me back to that WIKI page. Also I believe a tomcat restart helped me get the AD auth working.
